Life with the Dempsters ( Hi-De-Hi Fanfiction)

Welcome home

A few days after Mali being Born they were now allowed to take her home well back to Maplins and that was when it hit Clive that they were stilling living in their chalet. Clive helped Gladys out of the car and lifted Mali's car seat out of the car and carefully carried Mali into their small chalet.

Once inside Clive took Mali out of her car seat, transferred her into her mosses basket, and wrapped her up warm. Gladys climbed on to the bed, sighed with relief, and snuggled down.

"Glad, don't get mad but,I have something I need to do will you be alright for an hour or so?" She yawned and nodded.

Clive kissed Gladys on the lips and then walked over to Mali and looked down at her with a big smile upon his face.

"Now you be a good girl for your mummy and Daddy will be back soon" He walked away from Mali and took one last glace at his wife before he left the house. As Clive got into his car, he called one of his real estate friends "hey Harry its Clive...yes I know but I need your help with something got time for coffee?"

-

"Clive" Harry looked at the time "yeah okay I'll meet you at the little coffee shop around the corner from your camp and let me just say I'm not happy about this, should I bring my folder?"

"I know I'm sorry but I am desperate......but Sounds good, yes see you soon" He hung up and started for the coffee shop

When Clive reached the coffee shop he ordered a coffee for himself along with a scone with clotted cream and jam and a coffee for his friend then made his way to a small round table out the front. When he saw his friend approaching, he stood up to shake his hand "Harry thanks for this, how are you?" Clive asking sitting back down and thanking the waitress as she put their coffee on the table

"I'm good how about you?" harry smiled at his childhood friend as he sat

"Good thank you for seeing me at such short notice"

"Oh on problem but you know if your family find out they will kill me but anyhow how is Gladys?Wasn't she due a week ago?"

"How did you know? Only the guys at the camp knew? But Gladys is good yeah she gave birth to our Little girl Mali a few days ago" He could  help but grin mentioning his daughter and wife.

Harry smiled knowing that his good family friend of 15 years was happy "I fortunately have my connections and no I won't say anything to your parents but congratulation's to you both and Mali? That's a nice name well getting down to business I'm guessing since you told me to bring my folder that you're looking a house with 2-3 bedrooms?" Clive nodded taking a sip of his coffee "well to save some time I went through all of our 2-3 Bedroom houses that were listed and came up with three you might like, did you want to go take a look I have about an hour and a half before I have to back to the office"

He looked at the information and pictures on the three houses his friend suggested and decided the second one looked best it had pictures of the front of the house which showed a manicured lawn, it also had pictures of the kitchen which was modern and very large, the 3 bedrooms all different shaped but all very large and all had an on suite which would be perfect . So Clive and Harry got into Clive's car and they drove to that house first.

"I do have to tell you that this particular house is a few extra miles away from Crimpton-by-sea  " Harry said and Clive nodded.

"Sure" He said looking in the rear view mirror.

As they drove up the nice quiet street Clive looked around seeing all the houses front yards were neat and there were children playing it felt very warm and welcoming Clive new this was the one before they even got to the house.
